SHIELDED FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT CONNECTOR 5An electrical connectorfor connecting to a flexible/flat circuit board includes a housing having acavity, contacts disposed in the cavity of the housing, and a metal shieldmounted to the housing. Locking members are attached to the housing andhaving resilient locking projections disposed in the cavity. When aflexible/flat circuit is inserted into the cavity, openings/notches formedon the flexible/flat circuit are engaged with the 10locking projectionssuch that the flexible/flat circuit is secured to the housing. The shieldis rotatable relative to the housing and engaging to the locking members.When at an open position, the shield presses against the locking members todeflect and push the locking projections away from the cavity such that theflexible/flat circuit is disengaged from the locking projections and can bedetached from the connector. 15 (Fig. 1) |
